How do I find out what regulations there are for shipping PA wines to Switzerland?

How much wine?

I've tried to ship wine to Switzerland before and it ain't easy.

But, if you want to ship a couple bottles, simply box it up and call it olive or grapeseed oil or something. You do have to fill out a customs report for Fed Ex, UPS or the USPS, but you should be okay. It's VERY expensive, something like $40 to ship 2 bottles if I recall correctly.

If on the other hand you want to get into exporting there, that's another matter entirely and I have no idea how to tell you to proceed other that to contact an exporter here on the coast and see what the proceedure is and where you can start.

Good luck and let us know what happens.
